Rachid Dahnoun is a photographer and director who draws viewers into the earth’s wildest places.
His award-winning images earned him a coveted spot on the Nikon 100 List composed of the world’s top 100 rising photographic stars—and in fact, night-time photography is one of Dahnoun’s specialties (his image graces the cover of National Geographic’s Night Sky of North America).
His work has appeared in hundreds of publications, such as National Geographic, Outside, Backpacker, and The New York Times. Some of his commercial clients include Microsoft, Coors Light, AARP and Meredith Corp. He also works with non-profits dedicated to landscape conservation - the National Parks Conservation Association, The Trust for Public Land, and The Conservation Fund.
With studios in Lake Tahoe and Bodega Bay, California, he logs frequent trips into the Sierra and along Northern California’s picturesque coastline - often accompanied by wife Regina and his dog Avery.
